- Primary headaches
- Secondary headaches

Primary headaches are the most common forms of headaches and they include headaches due to tensions which is the most common type, migraines and cluster headaches. Some less common headaches due to a variety of stress and anxiety causes also belong to this category.
Secondary headaches are not actually a direct symptom but are occurred due to another underlying disorder or structural problem such as brain tumors, meningitis, neck pain, and encephalitis
